  • Historic Interior

Busy locals pub about half a mile from Wilmslow centre, presented with a Community Pub award by CAMRA in July 2011. Attracts mixed range of clientele. Sells good range of cask ales. Lounge and vault downstairs together with 'Alpine' and 'Cheshire' suite rooms. Characterful local with a number of separate rooms, including a vault, secreted behind the finely etched front windows. The front lounge contains a large, Boddington's mirror (from the good old days!) and a working piano. The rear lounge displays three fascinating paintings of Wilmslow, Macclesfield and Cheshire. The darts room is lined with wooden-panelled benching and the main wall is adorned with an ancient pair of skis. An additional room is available upstairs, and can be used for functions. Previously famous for its Boddies (Boddingtons Bitter) which remained on the bar after the purchase by JW Lees, however the cask version is no longer brewed. Dogs are welcome in the Alpine bar and vault.

Information for this venue is provided by the Macclesfield & East Cheshire Branch of CAMRA

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

A busy locals’ pub, built in the early 20th-century, but refitted in the 1930s with further subsequent changes. The small vault has an old and bench seating but the bar-back seems to be of the 1960s. At the rear is another small room with old bench seating and a fireplace that could date from the 1930s. On the right are another two small rooms: a large piece of wall above the dado was removed in the early 2000s. The rear room was a private living room until the early 1980s. The front lounge bar has what may be a 1950s counter, 1960/1970s fixed seating and a new fireplace. The games room upstairs has been brought into use. Two old urinals in the gents’. The window glass is a recent replacement.
